Sliding Endless Tiling, Blush
Every pixel inside a disk is folded back into one triangle of a {3, 7} tiling, 3-sided tiles with 7 meeting at each corner, by mirroring it in two straight lines through the centre and a circle that meets the disk's edge at right angles; the number of circle mirrorings sets the colour of the tile, and a Moebius translation slides the whole tiling through the disk so that it keeps flowing toward you.
Hearted by 1 person in the Gallery.
Good to know
- In 1958 Escher made Circle Limit I, the first of four woodcuts in which an endless pattern shrinks toward the edge of a disk without ever reaching it.
In art
- Hyperbolic geometry has also been crocheted, knitted and folded in paper, in craft projects that began with Daina Taimina's crocheted models.
Made with Hyperbolic tiling.
